I've always loved the challenge of painting the human figure, but these
paintings always seem to need more work. With a still life or a
landscape, the point at which I'm comfortable with adding a signature is
often clear. As I downloaded these photos from my camera, I could
see so much that needed to be fixed. For these two paintings, the
deadline of an art festival next weekend is my only incentive to sign
and frame. If someone loves them and buys them as they are, I will be
very happy, but next week they will probably be taken out of the frame
and tweaked a bit. I'm fortunately meeting with a group of fellow
artists tonight for "critique night." I'm sure my list of fixes will be
enhanced after their insights

Back to Metals
Pewter Bowl with Fruit SOLD |
I feel like I've been in another world the past few months. I've put my
"recreational" painting on hold while I painted with my buddies Sherwin
Williams and Benjamin Moore. The joys of being a landlord! I've also
been painting for homework, but most of that is not worth sharing, just
yet. I finally got back to some little paintings that were left in the
early stages - it feels nice to finish something, even if only 6x6
inches.
